Selfish Babyboomers

Selfish?

I recall my folks bought their first home, it was *brand* new. My Dad use to go to the gas station and say, "gimmy a bucks worth of regular". Then they cleaned his windshield, checked his oil and tires. We had everything we needed. And Mom NEVER had to work.

It only took one income back then to buy a brand new home and raise a family to boot.

Just try that today.

Not to mention, they had secure jobs, with great medical benefits, and most had pensions. It was no big deal back then, and was more or less expected.

Today, one is lucky to even have a secure job. They're almost unheard of.
